+WATCHFRR
+********
+
+:abbr:`WATCHFRR` is a daemon that handles failed daemon processes and
+intelligently restarts them as needed.
+
+Starting WATCHFRR
+=================
+
+WATCHFRR is started as per normal systemd startup and typically does not
+require end users management.
+
+WATCHFRR commands
+=================
+
+.. clicmd:: show watchfrr
+
+ Give status information about the state of the different daemons being
+ watched by WATCHFRR
+
+.. clicmd:: watchfrr ignore DAEMON
+
+ Tell WATCHFRR to ignore a particular DAEMON if it goes unresponsive.
+ This is particularly useful when you are a developer and need to debug
+ a working system, without watchfrr pulling the rug out from under you.
